The device was not returned to abbott vascular for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot or relabeled lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints reported from this lot or relabeled lot.In this case, the device was prepped prior to use with no issue/ leak noted, which would suggest that the device was not damaged prior to use.The investigation determined the reported difficulty to advance, difficulty to remove and material rupture appear to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure.Based on the reputed information, the challenging anatomical conditions which were reported as heavily calcified, 75% stenosed caused resistance during advancement of the sds, resulting in the reported difficulty to advance and remove.Manipulation against resistance with the anatomy during advancement likely caused the device to become damaged resulting in the material rupture.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
